I have a cheap one from Nektar that did the trick, that one time I fiddled with Kemper wah.
I have a pair of Nektar NX-P expression pedals for my Stage work well, easy to carry, and Boss EV-5 /Maudio type construction-very smooth wide treadle sweep operation too

In the old days I used an original Cry Baby , model GCB-95, Jim Dunlop. I still own two of them, both with an external power adapter. But they make such a noise. So some years ago I got me a Boss FV-500 expression pedal which is built like a tank and quiet as a mouse! I use it only for Wah because my midicontroller has a volume pedal as well.
2 Moog EP3's for volume and pitch, converted crybaby for Wah as I think this is essentially what the mission is. I use @bypass stop to activate it to avoid silly switching...all painted Kemper green.

I use 2 Boss EV-5s. One modified with shorter throw , like a real Cry Baby, for Wa

WoW! Hard to do?

..No, I've managed to do it by myself so.. pretty easy
1) find a crybaby
2) remove evertihng but the Pot
3) solder 3 cables to a stereo female jack.
You can find Instructions here and a Topic about the differences the Pot Here
in my lastest post you also find a quick video comparison of the 2 different pots and a before/after the mod.

Good job! I'll try one with these instructions. Thank you, !

Have the Nektar pedals held up well since you purchased them?
Moog EP3 for volume and Whammy, Cry baby modified into an expression for wah ( so uses the KPA wah but looks the same as a cry baby)..
Dunlop DVP 5 via a moog and a mission. I really like this one
I've got a Dunlop DVP-3 that I really like.
For fun I converted an Ernie Ball VPjr to exp.
I'm currently still using a combination of Mission, Boss FV500 and Zoom but I'm seriously considering changing. Currently think the front runners are DVP5, Boss EV30 or Boss EV5.
Just for fun I took a multi meter to all 3 of mine today. The Zoom (which cost me £11) actually has the closest to spec pot and the most linear sweep.

Same for me. I removed the wha circuit and and put a stereo jack.
Cry Baby pedals have significant mechanical slop at heel-down position. Regardless of how tight you make the tension band they have a tendency to drop the toe by themselves and trigger the wah when you least want it. If Kemper would add a control to adjust how far the "off" region extends (as Helix has since day one) this would not be such an issue.
